May 1, 2008 --- VEI Press announces that Abstract Reality: The Art of Dave Gutierrez will be launched at the upcoming Super-Con convention in San Jose, California May 17-18. Dave Gutierrez will attend the convention for the launch and will be signing books, as well as doing sketches.

Gutierrez demonstrates his artistic versatility in his first collected book, with work that ranges from fluid, trippy original pen and ink creations to his masterful inking of comic book legend Gene Colan to highly detailed pencil illustrations to serene watercolors and sequential art storytelling. The full-color hardcover book contains more than 50 works by the artist, most published here for the first time. This collection offers an excellent introduction to Gutierrez’s talent, humor, and spirit, informed by his background as a professional tattoo artist, architect, penciller, inker, and colorist, as well as thrash metal guitarist.

The books have specially designed plates for the signature and numbering, as well as for the sketches. They are being made available in the following formats:

About Me

I've been running Abstract Reality Studios for 16 years now and drawing all my life. I've been busy as hell these days so no complaints. I just wanted a place where I could scream and laugh at all the devils in my life, otherwise I'll be posting drawings, commissions and other artwork as I finish (and other stupid crap!). I'm laughing & screaming RIGHT NOW!
Always looking for fun & interesting ideas for commissions so email me for a quote at tombofdracula@yahoo.com
